Paid To Get Drunk |
At the bottom of an empty glass |
See myself going nowhere fast |
And the barman tells me it’s time to leave |
But I haven’t got time to care |
If I have so much love to give |
Where is that will to live? |
Maybe you old friend will show me how |
Come here pull up a chair |
I get paid, paid to get drunk |
Spend my money on any old junk |
And every morning kills my soul |
At the end, the end of each day |
Every drink is directed my way |
Well every morning kills my soul |
Sports plays on the corner screen |
This feels like a movie scene |
And I’m long past done with cliche’s and all |
My eyes are much to blurred |
This is how I live my life |
Escaping worries, eternal strife |
And I’ll try to talk to anyone |
But my speech is much too slurred |
I get paid, paid to get drunk |
Spend my money on any old junk |
And every morning kills my soul |
At the end, the end of each day |
Every drink is directed my way |
Well every morning kills my soul |
Oh, ah, oh, oh, ah |
Oh, oh, oh, ah, ah, ah |
At the bottom of an empty glass |
See myself going nowhere fast |
And the barman tells me it’s time to leave |
But I haven’t got time to care |
